thats hard to say, you could try and make 1 setup for everyone or use different items vs each kind of char you fight.

vs most you'll want mass life

you could make a speed barb with a range 5 weapon

you could make a good weapon/shield vs most chars

you could make a barb with +400%to cold vs orb sorcs
you could make a barb with +225%to lightning vs FOH pal
you could make a barb with 90%toall 95%to fire
vs a necro you'll need zerk/leap if they IM+bonewall

for most barbs it comes down to what you can get for items. you can make a good barb with sets/uniqs but to make one using all rares could take take a long time.
